Predictions made by gamers concerning the current Nintendo line up of games.

90%-10%... Sony fans would still spam the hell out of it.

Agreed. I mean, they're online and using an always connected online device to complain about a device that only requires a check in every 24 hours. Most of the people here are OK but come on, where is the logic in that?

Requiring internet access to use the internet is a lot different than requiring internet access to play a game that doesn't use the internet. The idea is that if you want to go somewhere where you don't have internet, you should still be able to play singleplayer games on your console. Personally, it never bothered me much but I can understand why some people had a problem with it.

I can see it for some people but 90% of the people or more had stable internet connection. A pro of being able to share as many games as you wanted with 10 people of your choosing surely heavily out-weighs the con of the 24 hour check. We all could have saved $1000s...

I don't understand why that sharing feature couldn't have still been maintained as an option.

Agreed. Hopefully it does become an option later on. I'm sure it's being discussed.

Really? I can't imagine the internet is THAT pro-Sony. With the awesome exclusives MS showed at E3 no longer being obscured by DRM talk, don't you think the results would be somewhat closer?

Nah, of course the internet isn't that pro-Sony.  To me, Sony fans remind me of the Ron Paul supporters from the 2008 US presidential election cycle... they're few but dedicated, and would troll any online poll or forum to make it seem as if Ron Paul had way more support than he actually did.

The funny thing though is that without all the DRM stuff to hide behind and point fingers at, the biggest stories that came out of Sony's E3 showing were...

1) KHIII is coming, and it's NOT a PS4 exclusive, and

2) You now have to pay to play online on PS4

And that's it.  Just about every game demo'd was multiplatform, and the few exclusives shown were ones we had known about for awhile, including FFXV, which was announced more than 7 years ago, and is for all intents and purposes "Versus XIII".

The $399 price point and the Order finally being announced were pretty big too I'd say, though I was hoping for less CGI and more actual gameplay. Hopefully we'll see more of those 20 exclusives at other events later this year.

The difference is that unlike Ron Paul, the PS4 actually has a chance of winning lol :)

Anyway, are you suggesting that Sony fans were making multiple accounts and spamming the poll, and that that's why the PS4 won? That would mean that the average person who voted for the PS4 would've voted almost 20 times. And that's assuming that nobody did that for the Xbox One. Kinda silly, don't ya think?

I'd guess something along those lines too.
